Find Your Home

“Buying a home is one of life’s biggest milestones. Having the right agent by your side can make all the difference - not just in finding the right property, but in making the journey smooth, informed, and completely focused on what matters most to you.”

FAQ’s when buying a property:

  • You can request a viewing directly through the property advert — just click the link on our website or the portal where you found the listing (like Rightmove or Zoopla). If you'd prefer, you can also use our contact form and we’ll get back to you quickly to arrange a time that suits.

  • Yes - we strongly recommend having a mortgage agreement in principle (AIP) in place before viewing. It gives you a clear idea of your budget and helps avoid falling in love with a property that’s out of reach. Sellers also tend to take offers more seriously when they know your finances are ready. If you haven’t got one yet, we can connect you with a trusted mortgage advisor who can help.

  • If your offer is accepted, we’ll first ask you to provide proof of ID and proof of funds (or your mortgage agreement in principle) so we can verify everything before progressing. Once that’s done, we’ll issue a memorandum of sale to all parties and things start moving. At this point, the property may be marked as “Sold Subject to Contract” depending on the circumstances. You’ll then need to instruct a solicitor, and if you're using a mortgage, your lender will carry out their valuation. Don’t worry — we’ll guide you through every step, all the way to getting the keys.

  • It varies, but the average time from offer acceptance to completion is around 12–16 weeks. Some sales are quicker, while others - especially those involving a chain - can take longer.
    If you're buying a leasehold property, particularly a flat, it may take more time due to additional paperwork, management company enquiries, and ground rent or service charge details.
    We’ll keep you updated throughout and do everything we can to keep things moving smoothly.

  • Yes - we work with trusted professionals who know the process inside out. There’s no obligation, but if you’d like a recommendation, we’re happy to share our contacts.

  • Each property is different. Fixtures and fittings are often included, but things like curtains, appliances or furniture might be negotiable. It’s always worth specifying terms in any offer on exactly what’s staying before you commit.

  • Deposit amounts vary depending on your mortgage lender and personal circumstances. As a general guide, many buyers put down somewhere between 5% and 10% of the purchase price. Your mortgage broker or lender will be able to give you a clearer idea based on your situation. If you’re a first-time buyer, there may also be government-backed schemes available — speak to an advisor to see what’s right for you.

  • Yes - in addition to your deposit, allow for:

    • Solicitor fees

    • Mortgage fees (if applicable)

    • Survey fees

    • Stamp duty (if applicable - first-time buyers often pay less or none)

    • Moving costs

    We’re happy to walk you through what to expect.

  • Absolutely - and it’s a good idea. Surveys check the condition of the property and help you avoid any surprises later. Your mortgage lender might do a basic one, but you can opt for a more detailed inspection too.

  • No problem. We’re experienced in handling chains and will keep in close contact with all parties to keep everything moving. The key is good communication - and that’s where we come in.
